`perl -we'use POSIX; system "sleep 10000"'` [download] works for me; does it for you? What version of cygwin? Did you build perl yourself or is this the cygwin binary? If built yourself, what's `perl -V:config_args` or what other changes did you make? Can anyone else with cygwin on win98 try the above use posix/sleep?	[reply] [d/l] [select]
